sorry for butting in but i read this "your climate control unit in the car is ****ed up. do all the lights come on on the cc?" all of my lights dont come on. Sometimes some of them do but its rare. So what exactly does that mean? Need to replace unit?

I just bought a 92 Honda Prelude and the a/c compressor doesn't work...
Anyone out there kno any info about the a/c compressors in these things?

Well to test to see for certain that it is broken....turn your AC on and fan level on high.

Look into your engine bay area where your AC comp is and see if the center cap where there should be 3 bolts are rotating. It should be rotating if your AC is on bc the clutch should've caught on and started pumping.

If ur AC is on and the center cap isn't moving at all then your AC comp is shot and it's time to replace it and then get it recharged!!!

Mine was shot last year and delayed it til now. Hopefully within weeks I should be able to get another one and recharged!!!
